How did Mary Magdalene die?
Other traditions hold that she travelled to Britain and France. Since Magdalene means ‘of Tyre’ or a Phoenician, it seems quite possible she took the message of the resurrected Christ to Phoenicia’s former colonies. That meant the Mediterranean and Atlantic countries of Britain, France, Portugal and Spain. They are better known as Tarshish in Biblical accounts. Both France and Turkey border the Mediterranean or Medi Tyrhennian Sea (Sea of Tyre). Joseph of Arithamaea was the last person to see the dead body of Jesus and Mary First to physically meet the resurrected Jesus. It seems quite plausible they travelled together as witnesses to what is obviously the most important event in history. In fact it is almost certainly absurd for them to have remained in Jerusalem when Jesus commanded His followers to go around the whole world explainin the good news of His Resurrection. Normally one might expect travellers like these people to retire when elderly and return home and probably die there
